ProgramsCustomer Service - Glad I Could Help (Real Customer Service Situations for Discussion)

This program illustrates to employees how to respond positively in difficult customer service situations. Employees will see the most common internal and external customer service situations, both over the phone and face-to-face. In each situation, employees will learn that by responding with a "glad I could help" attitude, customers will feel positive about the employee, the organization, and the way they have been treated - ultimately creating long-term customer loyalty.

Key Learning Points:

Understand the number one thing that matters to customers is how they're treated

Keep your focus on what you can do to solve a customer's problem

Exhibit a "glad I could help" attitude when dealing with customers

Make sure the customer is left with a positive, memorable impression

This program will show employees how they can have the "glad I could help" attitude:
